Forging and Stamping

NAICS 33211 encompasses forging and stamping operations, focusing on manufacturing metal components through processes that shape metal using dies, presses, and hammers. These manufacturers produce a wide range of metal parts for various industries, including automotive, aerospace, defense, and industrial machinery. The category includes companies that transform raw metal materials into specialized components with precise dimensional and structural characteristics.

The federal contract awards under this NAICS code primarily involve military and defense-related procurement, with solicitations from agencies like the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and Army Contracting Command. Typical contract values range from tens of thousands to several hundred thousand dollars, with delivery timelines spanning 60 to 420 days. Most opportunities are set aside for small businesses, with specific designations including total small business and woman-owned small business set-asides. Common places of performance include military distribution centers in locations such as Cherry Point, San Joaquin, and Albany, with many contracts involving international delivery points.

Recent federal contract opportunities demonstrate a focus on specialized metal components such as forgings, bushings, connectors, springs, and metal bars. Solicitations cover a diverse range of technical specifications, including precision-machined military equipment parts like cannon tubes, suspension arms, and breech block forgings. The opportunities primarily emerge from the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, Land and Maritime, and Army Contracting Command, with most requiring electronic quote submissions and emphasizing strict technical compliance. Quantities typically range from 1 to 2,200 units, with delivery timelines between 30 and 420 days after order placement.
